Ekaterinensky Congress Center glows like a lantern on the Kuban River in Russia

Piuarch’s proposal for the new Ekaterinensky Congress Center in Krasnodar, Russia, envisions a three-story cultural complex that offers scenic views of the river bay and includes a pedestrian plaza connecting the city to the river. The complex reconciles the city’s geometric urban grid with the organic quality of the natural landscapes that dominates the river bank.
